Lay your hand flat on a table and rock it forward and back with a little pressure... Now put hand on top of four beer bottles and rock forward and back.. This is your jeep on a body lift.. Lifting the body away from the frame makes the body mounting points rock back and fourth, flexing, bending and eventually ripping metal.
I don't "hate them"... Just wouldn't do it again!

yep this thread has definitely convinced me out of a body lift. i think iv learnt that if you cant afford coils and new drive shafts you really can afford to lift it any higher then 2.5 -3 inches. : (.

Did this happen to you? If so I would like to see some pics.

Yes, on my CJ. no pix of damage but only 2 of the 6 tub mounts was actually holding the body on to the frame when it was removed. It was wheeled and 9 year old metal with 2" poly body. My fathers 95 YJ had split metal around 2 of body mounts. 1" lift with body mount bushings. Very little wheeling and no rust..not trying to tell anyone don't do it, but I spent the extra cash and did it the right way on JK.

Works great. When instaling a body lift, spray some under coating on all the body lift joining surfaces(frame,body,body lift pucks,body mounts). Wile it is wet put it together and it will be sealed . No dirt,dust,water,or rust will be able to get in there . This eliminates that anoying squeak from the body lifts .
